    Bonus Re-Release: Advice from a Palliative Care Doctor on How to Not Fear Death and Live Life "Buoyantly" with Dr. Alex Gamble

    Today, we have an abbreviated, bonus re-release of our episode with Palliative care doctor, Dr. Alex Gamble. Dr. Gamble graduated from St. Louis University School of Medicine in 2010, completed his residency at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics in 2015, and pursued his fellowship at the University of Kansas in 2016. He specializes in improving the quality of life for patients nearing the end of life, drawing from his deep expertise in palliative care. Dr. Gamble sits down with Ashley to discuss his experiences as a palliative care physician and the profound lessons his patients have taught him about life, death, grief, and emotional maturity. Their conversation explores the philosophical aspects of death anxiety and dives into the diverse emotional landscapes of his patients. Death Anxiety is a fundamental aspect of the human experience, influencing many of the choices we make in an effort to mitigate our fears surrounding mortality. With this episode, and the series as a whole, we aim to foster open dialogue about this often-uncomfortable topic. We believe that through tough conversations, we can find inner peace. No subject is off-limits in our pursuit of meaningful connection.

These simple acts nourish our body in ways we often overlook. Together, we explore how slowing down, moving with intention, and getting back to what’s essential can bring more energy, balance, and ease into our lives.
